Trou-aux-Biches beach, Mont Choisy beach, or Grand Bay beach, the beaches in the north of Mauritius are among the most beautiful on the island and are perfect for children. The water is always very calm, ideal for safe swimming, and the trees along the beach allow you to enjoy a little shade during a family picnic. You can also find snacks places along the beach to enjoy a 100% local meal where you can taste Mauritian specialties or opt for a more classic meal to satisfy the children. Grand Bay's beach offers the possibility to enjoy the city once the swimming is over. It is the seaside resort of the island where you will find several restaurants, stores, and animations for children.
Surprise your children by taking them as close as possible to the fish of the Indian Ocean during a semi-submersible excursion that will leave a lasting impression on them! The youngest and the oldest will be amazed you will feel that the underwater flora brushes against you at every moment. On the program: turtles, rays, barracudas, and many others.
